Hands available for farm work appear
to become sCarCer every season. Ambi-
tious young men who are acquainted with
field and garden work are anxious to OBJ
tain farms for themselves while land is
cheap. Almost all who work for wages
go to the large towns to seek employment.
The consequences are n scarcity of
farm labOrcrs, poor service and high
wages. In many places men competent
to raise fruit, to lay out and plant grounds,
and to do work in n flower and vegetable
garden annot be obtained for the money
that farmers can raise from the sale of
crops, wool and meat at the prices they
must now be old for.
The general employment of machinery
on farms has also eXerted an unfavorable
influence on small fruit culture, land
scape, vegetable and flower gardening.
Persons who have become accustomed to
the use of machines in the field dc not
like to engage in doing work involving
the use of hand tools. 1t may be very
light work like preparing beds in a garden,
setting out strawberry plants and prun-
ing bushes that produce flowers and fruit
1t may he a change from ordinary field
labor-but they nevertheless dislike it..
The substitution of machines drawn by
horses or operated by steam power for
tools that must be used by the exercise of
human strength has had a tendency to
diminish skill in most sorts of manual
labor. The man who has used a gang
pillow, a riding cultivator, n mower, hay
rake n self binding harvester for several
seasons has lost the skill he once pos
sessed in the use of the spade, the garden
rake, the hand hoe and the pruning
knife. He is no longer 'handy'' at any
kind of garden work, and as n conse-
queuce he neglects it.-Chicago Times.

American farmers, especially those liy-
ing in the west, nre Informed that farmers
in France, Belgium and Holland obtain
the food for their families almost entirely
from their gardens and poultry yards, and
arc thereby able to convert nearly all the
product of their fields md pastures into
money. II has even been shown that
French farmers receive several million
dollars per year for the eggs they send to
England. Farmers in the prairie region
are often informed of the important part
the garden plays in furnishing food for the
farmers in the eastern states, and they are
told-that the rich soil in the west is much
better for producing vegetables THAI the
hard and stony soil of New England and
the central states. Still it must be
acknowledged that not much progress is
made in increasing the production of fine
vegetables and small fruits on western
farms. The men who follow farming as a
business in the west and endeavor to make
money by it have few lawns, but little
%shrubbery small plantations of fruit,
smaller flower gardens, and only apologies
for vegetable gardens.
But for all this, and for all that, they
are not deficient in good taste, and not
unappreciatiVe of the charms of beauty,
and not insensible of the ''joys of the ia
BILE They like beautiful surroundings
and are fond of good living. A combina-
ton Of unfavorable circumstances gen
orally prevents them from identifying
their farms, from fixing up things
about the house, from raising small fruits,
and from supplying their tables with
choice home grown vegetables. Western
farms are generally large, and the produc-
ton of field crops is conducted on nm eX-
tensive scale. Labor is scarcer and dearer
than in most of the eastern states, and
very much scarcer and dearer thar in
those foreign countries where so much at
tention is given to the productiveness of
small fruits, choice vegetables and fancy
poultry. Most of our ''hired men, are

An Affecting Incident.
From, the Detroit Tribune.

From the Detroit Tribune
Pedestrians on Woodford avenue were treated
to a singular and affecting incident last evening
Freddie Maline. little newsboy whose legs are
so crippled that he walks on his knees, was
trudgng down the street when a legless sailor
came plodding along in the opposite direction
on his stumps They did not observe each other
until the sailor attacked the lad. The assault
was so sudden that it was all over before any
body had a chance TO interfere. What do you
mean by thiss" demanded bystander of the
man.
THE boy is hooking me- replied the sailor.
Then he got good look at the little fellows
legs. and cried: What! so you are a ippe
like mef My God boy, forgive me. thought
you were mOcking.'
The tears coursed down a cheek bronzed by
sun and wind, and possibly hardened by sin.
"Oh, | wouldn't a-done it." he exclaimed: " l
wouldn't a-done it if I'd a-known, for these two
hands, and they're all I've got left. ask your
pardon, my boy-I ask your pardon
Then the adult cripple hobbled on The boy
gathered up his papers that had been strewn
around in the struggle, and, wiping away the
tears that had filled his eyes as the sailor was
speaking, crawled on down the street, but not
before handfuls Of coin had been showered on
both the unfortunates.

The Jasper Monument.

The association which was formed ten
years ago to erect a monument to Sergt.
William Jasper, the revolutionary nero who
lost his life in front of this city Oct 8, l179,
has very nearly completed its work
It feels warranted in announcing that the
unwilling OF the monument will take place
on Feb. - next, and, as the purpose is to
honor and perpetuate the memory of one
who was gallant soldier, whose deeds will
be recited by coming generations
it is intended TO make the cere-
monies imposing and the occasion
one OF more than ordinary interest. The
citizens Of this and other States, therefore,
will be invited to be present. The weather
is generally pleasant at the time appointed
for the unveiling, and there are many Wis
itors from all other parts of the country in
this section of the South at that season of
the year
There has been an intimation that the
President and Mrs Cleveland might again
visit the South late this winter or early
next spring. Ii this should prove to be the
case, they might he induced to time their
visit so as to be present at the monument
ceremonies. They would find visit to Sa-
vannah pleasant one, as will all of those
who attend the unveiling.

A Lightning Hair Cut.
From the Chicn0o .JournnI.


As was entering a downtown barber shop
the other day a gawky looking countryman
dashed by me, and punging into the first va
cant chair said: Gimme quick shave; I'm in
a hurry The barber spread the calico wrap
per over the countryman's breast, and as he
tucked 1t in, said: Hair cut. sir?" ''Haint got
time answered the man. Wouldn't take but
a couple of minutes" said the barber, per
suaslvely, as he reached for pair of scissors.
MEAN ter tell me you kin cut my hair in two
minutes-no, nor in ten, nuther." "Oh, yes"
quietly said the barber, Il could do it in five. ="
''Bet you s. you can't" said the countryman.
explosvely, IAN that's dollar minute' The
boss barber nodded to indicate that the bet
might be taken up, and the workman, as he
quietly slipped one of those close-clipping ma
chimes on the head rest back of the chair. said,
Done" The boss came over, and Just as the
minute hand OF the clock pointed to the even
quarter time called. In about two seconds
the barber had run the machine up the back of
the countryman's neck to the top of his head
Hold on yelled the man, as he jumped from
the chair; whats that yer cuttin' my hair
with-a jack planet" With the aid of hand
mirror he viewed the bare strip on the back of
his head and concluded he had lost the bet. The
barber pocketed the V and conc uded his work
of identifying the stranger who said, on leav-
ing the place: Next time ] come to Chicago
I'll start early enough to get shaved without

GOV. Gordon in Ohio.

! Some Of the Republican papers of Ohio
are making the presence of Gov Gordon in
that State as campaign speaker for the
| Democratic ticket the occasion for saying
some very unjust things about him and the
/ people of Georgia. The TimeS-Sdr, Of Gin
| cinnati, for instance, saws that Gov. Gordon
! was leading spirit in the Klux-Klan,
! and that no one doubts that he is a sharer
! in the profits of the Georgia convict
! lessees, although he pretends TO be Mortified
at the cruel and brutal treatment TO which
the convicts are subjected under the lease
System. The Iimes-Stor further alleges that
although the people of Georgia demanded
that the convict system should be abolished.
the Legislature paid no heed to the demand,
but did pass bill, which is on the statute
books, making it crime for a white teacher
to instruct colored children in company with
white children.
Doubtless the Times Star knew that it
was not dealing fairly with Gen. Gordon
when it published the article referring to
him As matter of fact he was never a
member of the KuKlux Khan, and it
is entirely safe to say that he has no interest
whatever in anyone of the convict leases. At
one time lie did have an interest in one Of
the leases, but the convict business did not
suit him and, therefore, he abandoned it.
The Legislature did not abolish or modify
the present convict system, but Gov. Cor
don is not to blame for that. He recognizes
the bad features of the lease system, and
has been using his influence to get rid Of
IJa ant ia1 fNf na
Legislature advising the establishment of
an experimental farm for youthful con
victs, and for women convicted of crime,
and not more than two months ago he
instituted searching investigation of
abuses alleged to have been committed in
the convict camps for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not there was sufficient
ground for declaring the leases of two of
the three convict companies forfeited. Gov.
Gordon has shown his determination TO have
the convicts treated justly and humanely.
1t is not in his power to abolish the lease
system. If it were it is probable that it
would not be- long before another system
would be substituted for it.
The 1imeS-StdI' is mistaken in saying the
Legislature adopted a law making it a
crime for white man to teach a negro
child in company with white one A bill
was introduced in the Legislature making
it a crime TO teach mixed schools, but it was
not passed. The bill, however, was good
one, and simply provided the means
for carrying out the purposes of
the trainers of the constitution The
purpose of it was to prevent the destruc-
ton of the common schools in which the
colored people are as much interested as
the white people For opposition to mixed
schools the 1iBles-Stdr has only to look in
its own State. When it gets the mixed
'hool question settled satisfactorily there
it will lie time enough for it to undertake TO
settle the mixed school question in Georgia
If it will pay strict attention to the speeches
which Gov. Gordon is delivering in Ohio it
will find much more in him to admire than
TO find fault with

The most boastful and defiant of all the
condemned Chicago Anarchists when they
were first convicted was August Spies
He felt so certain that a way would be found
for him and his fellow prisoners out of their
trouble that he was not at all guarded in his
utterances. He is beginning to discover that
there is law in this country, and it is en-
forced when the necessity arises for doing
so. The Anarchists have been permitted to
do and say about what they pleased so long
as they did not disturb the peace, because it
has been thought that the common sense of
the people could be depended on to hold in
check the few who are threatening to change
law and order into chaos. The Haymarket
affair, however, was little more than tie
most patient of people could endure without
seeking to make the guilty parties pay the
penalty of their crime
Spies is no longer boastful, and his voice
is no longer heard defying the authorities.
He is under the SHADOW of the gallows, and
his feelings partake of the gloom of his sur
roundings. Even his proxy wife, whose
presence until within few days has been o
source of great pleasure to him, fails to
bring smile to his face He sits in sullen
silence through the long hours of the day
and his jailers are beginning TO think he is
insane. 1t is more than probable, however
that he is just beginning to realize that he is
not so much of hero and reformer as he
pretended to he, and that the law has grip
on him that is not likely to be relaxed until
it has rendered him incapable Of engaging
in any more bomb-throwiItg conspiracies
